(Press Release)<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

LIAT, the Caribbean Airline, will\u00a0next week increase its scheduled commercial flights into the territories affected by\u00a0Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The airline has been working to restore capacity to the\u00a0affected territories as they continue their rebuilding efforts.<\/p>\n

The airline will increase its flights into Dominica, St. Maarten, and Tortola. This will\u00a0provide greater connectivity for passengers within and outside the LIAT network.\u00a0Interim Chief Commercial Officer, Audra Walker noted that demand is improving\u00a0and the airline has been working closely with the relevant authorities to rebuild\u00a0capacity to pre-Hurricane levels. \u201cWe at LIAT are committed to helping our region\u00a0stay connected and we are keen to reinstate flights where there is demand for\u00a0seats, as well as cargo and Quikpak services.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The airline will now operate three flights a week into St. Maarten, five flights a\u00a0week into Tortola and will increase the number of flights into Dominica from an\u00a0alternating daily service to three flights per day. The new schedule will become\u00a0effective on November 16th.<\/p>
